Primary energy - World consumption by fuel type
This stacked area chart shows world primary energy consumption by fuel type for the years from 1982 to 2007. Primary energy consumption is measured in Mtoe (million tonnes oil equivalent).

(26) Primary energy comprises commercially traded fuels only. Excluded, therefore, are fuels such as wood, peat and animal waste which, though important in many countries, are unreliably documented in terms of consumption statistics. Also excluded are wind, geothermal and solar power generation.
